Mission Dolores, SF 94103 3555049 4 units · 3 fl · 1908

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 57-61 Albion St rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Built before 1979
Built 1908

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1908
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Initial analysis

The three-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 57-61 Albion Street in Mission Dolores, owned by the Maxwell Family Trust 2003, was constructed in 1908 and has undergone several significant maintenance and upgrade projects over the years. Most recently, in March 2024, the building completed a window replacement project costing $14,400 that involved installing wood flat windows on the front facade and vinyl windows on the rear side. The building has experienced several structural challenges, including fungus damage to the rear stairline that was addressed in 2016, and it underwent a major electrical service upgrade in 2006 with the installation of a new 200A service and rewiring. Notable safety-related incidents include a gas leak repair in 2019, though two furnace replacement projects initiated in 2017 expired without completion. The building had a significant fire damage incident in 1989, which was repaired, and received multiple housing inspection violations in 2009 related to fire safety equipment and structural elements, all of which were resolved by May 2009.

The property's recent history shows increasing attention to infrastructure maintenance, as evidenced by the 2024 window replacement project. However, there have been ongoing challenges with the surrounding area, as documented in numerous 311 calls throughout 2023-2024, primarily regarding street cleaning issues involving human waste, debris, and general cleaning needs. Most recently, in April 2024, there was a tenant buyout recorded at 61 Albion Street for $13,000 involving four tenants.

Risk rating

How 57-61 Albion St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
51stpercentile

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 392 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.
